Break out the ladder.
win this game and i’ll probably start feeling emotions during games the rest of the year.
Please, please, please don't let the Gophers get revenge and win at home!
Are we talking about the same team and coach?
Really?
Really?
We know they can win this but it will be really hard for this young team and Minny will be ready. Win this game and it suddenly makes some of the pain go away

BU better pack a swimming trunk, for the presser. Just in case we win in MN.

I’m sure Minny will come out with a great deal of energy in an attempt to do to us what we did to them. The good thing is...we come out with energy pretty much all the time. If we get going early, the “here we go again” mentality may set in for both teams. Would love to see a true road win be our second in a row.

Might be one of the toughest games we play all year. Minnesota will be fired up for this one after the butt kicking we game them at home

They certainly will. And our team spirit/will/belief is soaring. This game should be ultra intense. Can't wait to see how we respond.
Minnesota hosts Iowa this afternoon. Tip-off is set for 4 PM and it will air on FS1.

Mom! The Meatloaf!
In this case losing would bode very poorly for the rest of the season.
Maryland out-rebounded us. (31 to 25)
Maryland made one more free-throw (22 to 21)
Maryland had a better shooting percentage 44 to 42
We forced 21 turnovers and took 10 more total shots and made 2 more 3's
We played harder.
We will need to play just as hard against Minnesota.

Hair-on-fire mode. Methinks our guys are sick and tired of losing. We may drop this one, but focus isn't going to be an issue.
I don’t think we will take this one, but I certainly didn’t think we’d beat Maryland in MSG either, so..... ????
On a side note it’d be nice to climb out of 13th place and into that pack of 3 win BIG teams.
That Northwestern game still stings.
Definitely going to be much tighter than the first match up. I think the Illini have their second two-game winning streak of the season (that hurts to say) after taking care of the Gophers 72-67.

We held Murphy to 11 pts and 3 Defense rebounds total and Coffey to 9 pts.....can we do that again in goofy land with the eye strain court....
Hope to see the emergence of a " Fighting Illini " mantra for the rest of the season and coach BU , " PLEASE START TEV AND GIVE AG MORE TICK "

Oturu is not playing today against Iowa. Shoulder injury. They are vague about how long he'll be out.
Minny playing pretty good against Iowa.
However, IMVVVVHO, we have turned the corner. Does not mean we win remaining games on the sched, but certainly means we should not be scared of the sched nor should be surprised by the results.
